OpenEVSE is a fully open-source EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging station designed by OpenEVSE. OpenEnergyMonitor have been collaborating with OpenEVSE to improve Emoncms remote data logging integration and web UI control.

An EVSE charging station, is a device an electric car (EV) is plugged into to charge. It communicates with the car to agree on a charging rate that is the fastest and safest rate both the car and the power supply can support.

Caution: this unit is a kit, assembly requires wiring Alternating Current (AC) components that will be exposed to voltages up to 250v. If you do not have the experience and knowledge required to safely work with AC voltages please consult with an experienced electrician for assistance and inspection of your work.

Safety

OpenEVSE units have been designed to exceed the safety requirements for EV Charging Stations from SAE J1772, NEC and UL. Before supplying power to the car (and continuously while charging) the EVSE unit conducts a number of checks, no power is supplied until all the checks have passed.

EV Charging At Home With OpenEVSE (Review) (15:34)

Despite using OpenEVSE hardware for years, I've never actually done a review... until now! The folks over at OpenEVSE were kind enough to give me one of their Advanced Kit Bundles for review--enjoy! Since people have been asking, yes, I made the stop motion sequences myself and this video is actually the first time I've attempted stop motion animation.
